Luckily I picked Wisconsin-Milwaukee over Alabama.... Unfortunately, I picked UTEP over Utah and Iowa over Cincy. Everything else in my bracket is correct so far.

I didn't see this before. Thanks. If it's on;y a $15 difference, maybe I should get it with bongos so that I have an extra set for Donkey Konga and the soon to be released Donkey Konga 2. Multiplayer is great from the little bit I've played on DK1.

Carlito's one of my favorite superstars on Smackdown, and probably in the entire WWE. I've been a huge fan of his since he debuted. I don't know if he's got "the look" to be WWE champion, but he surely has the talent and charisma.

Compared to where I grew up (Springfield, Illinois- Worst. capital. ever.) LA is paradise. And yes, Czech, LA is better than cold and windy Chicago.

I like the Cubs and the White Sox. I grew up in an extended family that was and still is obsessed with the Cubs, so I saw their games before I even watched baseball regularly. You want to know why I started liking the White Sox? No? Well, ok... I'll tell you. Around the time I started watching baseball (1995- I was 11) I got a labrador with white paws. He had been named White Sox by his previous owners. That's it. I've been a fan ever since. And Los Angeles is the greatest city in the United States. I've been to pretty much every major city except New York and Boston (though I'd love to see Boston) and nothing tops LA for overall atmosphere. However, Toronto may or may not top LA for overall best city in North America. I don't know. I've only been to Toronto once. I've been to LA on several occasions. Thus ends my pointless rambling... for now.

I just saw Part 2 last night and I really liked it. It was a lot better than Part 1. I'll hold off until the DVD release of the full version before I purchase now that I've heard this news.

Please post.

Finland? I cheated.

They won't have time to change the roster, but they may have found some minor glitches that they need to fix or some things they need to tweak. Either that, or they didn't want to release the game on the same day as the new Splinter Cell.

Thanks. Kidman's still alive?

MVP Baseball 2005 from EA Sports was shipped today, 2/22. Some stores got copies in this evening, while others (such as my local game stores) will not be receiving them until tomorrow. In order to counter the moving up of the release date, 2K games ahs announced that Major League Baseball 2K5 will be shipped/released on 2/23/05. Great... Now I can read reviews of both before deciding what to get. I'm really tempted to buy both, but there are too many other games I want to buy. Then again, I probably shouldn't buy anything since I haven't even played 4-5 of the games I've bought recently... but whatever. Please post thoughts and opinions if any of you buy either game.

I made a mistake in that post. I said that I was wrong and MVP was on sale at TRU. I thought that I had previously stated that MLB was on sale at TRU. So basically I didn't need to correct anything and I just repeated myself. I feel dumb. Oh well... As long as you guys that want MVP get it at 2/3 the price, that's what matters. I actually haven't played MVP really for 4 days because I had a busy weekend and I've been playing other games. I've played a couple league games on MLB 2K5 and really enjoyed doing so. It's crazy how much I despise MLB offline compared to how much I enjoy it online. I guess I technically ended up paying a full $50 for the perfect baseball game- $30 for MVP and its excellent 1 player franchise mode (along with other modes) since its online mode is 5 innings and very laggy, and $20 for MLB solely for the excellent online mode with leagues, since I can barely trudge through 1 single game offline.

Yeah, Mike Regan from Gaming Ring is as reliable as they come. I worked at WrestlingGames.com (mailnly the message board, though) with him back in the early 2000's and we had Sanders Keel and others from THQ posting at the board. They even thanked us in No Mercy's credits. So yes, Mike has good contacts. They're even flying him out here for WrestleMania 21. Unfortunately (in this scenario), Mike's info should be assumed to be correct. At least I have time to save up for the game now.

Advanced You scored 100% Beginner, 93% Intermediate, 100% Advanced, and 61% Expert! You have an extremely good understanding of beginner, intermediate, and advanced level commonly confused English words, getting at least 75% of each of these three levels' questions correct. This is an exceptional score. Remember, these are commonly confused English words, which means most people don't use them properly. You got an extremely respectable score. I fared pretty well for someone who hasn't written anything formal in 4 or 5 years. I used to be a damn good writer with an expansive vocabulary.

Apparently, I was wrong. The game was on sale for that price at TRU last week. This week, MLB 2K5 is $14.99 at Circuit City, while MVP Baseball is a mere $19.99 at Toys R Us. MVP for $19.99>>>>>>>>>>>MLB for $14.99.

Shit... I never knew there were other White Sox fans here til recently. Now I see two. Represent, my brothas.

Anyone planning on doing a Yahoo or ESPN.com Pick 'Em group for the board? I can start one if need be.

Orgasming Christy + Dorky Angle= Laughsturbation.

I'm sad that I can't see an Illinois-Wake title game. They've been my favorite teams since I started watching. I haven't watched much college ball this year, but here are my picks for the Final Four from my ESPN.com brackets for the Cheap Ass Gamer forums league. I plan on making 4 alternate brackets (5 is the max) for improved chances of winning. Illinois over Wake Forest North Carolina over Syracuse Illinois over North Carolina

This is the best topic you have ever posted.

Yeah, Corliss just got traded back to Sacramento from Philly in the Chris Webber deal.

Since you mentioned Shelton, I really think that Charlie Haas would be a good fit. Switch him over from SD, turn him, and stick him in there. Not only does he look the part, but it'd seriously help his career. he could then feud with Shelton for the IC belt. Only problem is that you'd have to have Jackie switch rosters, too, since they have to stick together. But hey, she's not doing shit on Smackdown, and maybe she could end up as a decent worker fo the Women's division someday. As for another member.... Maybe Christian, but I don't know. I want him to evolve into a main event superstar, and I don't know if that could happen if he was with HHH.

Thanks. I went there and accepted, so I'm in.

Yes. It was my grandmother, Mae Young.
